For MontClair / Glen Ridge / Maplewood - what would be the approximate commute time. Can we commute by train to these places and avoid the road altogether (and the traffic - hence ).

Thanks JadedJC. When you say public transportation - do you mean a bus / train .. Are there any trains from MontClair to NYC . I have one who might need to be in school soon ...

Thanks BrightMoment for the encouraging news. As far as the areas go - can you suggest some good apartments in the locations that you had already referred to, in (Harsimus Cove / Hamilton Park etc. ) I am immediately looking to rent the place - but if my wallet and the economy permits - I might be want to purchase one nearby.

Thanks jennymayla .. I have never lived in an urban area ..I am moving from Mountain View, CA. In terms of safety - I have never had any issues here since I used to do groceries late in the night after work. I am definitely not expecting that luxury here - but I am looking for a safe walk from the PATH station to the home late in the night - around 8p or something similar to that.

I would imagine the downtown might not be so nice a place to roam around in the night . I am asking this because it might get late for me from work at NYC. Also - how long would it take from the PATH station to the downtown area (by walk , of course ).

I am moving from Mountain View, CA.
Out here - crime is literally non-existent. Hence my expectations might be pretty tall and unfair !!! Car breakins are fine with me .. I don't keep anything valuable in my car and my car is not that expensive either. But I am mostly concerned with mugging .. Seeing somebody holding a weapon when I return back from work might be something that I am not too happy about...

Hi All -
I have got a job at New York, near the downtown. I am totally new to the area . I know New York is pretty expensive - so thinking of commuting from New Jersey. I am totally new to the area and am looking for a good area to move in - with better security during the night (my job might be demanding enough to come back late in the night) and good schools nearby. Also preferably I want to commute by train and any place with access to some sort of train would definitely help. I am looking to rent somewhere upto 1500 per month and a 1-way commute of upto 1 hr. Safety and vicinity to groceries are my primary considerations. I heard the area near JSQ is good from different forums. If someone can help me with the actual details - it would be great.
